Monster Straight out of a Sci-fi Horror
« on: April 09, 2016, 09:38:31 am »

So I had recently started a new Fortress in Masterwork, a small human town in a big gigantic Desert that spans the entire world. and then out of nowhere this thing shows up

I have no idea what this thing is but I'm pretty sure it eats children

Apparently this thing is called a "Xen Infector" and here's the description

So yeah. this is a weird maggot with tentacles that reproduces by infecting people and impregnating them with larva's.

guys what should I do. I really think I should recreate the movie Aliens.

Oh god, I hate those things. They are pretty dangerous, but I don't think I've ever actually seen them reproduce like that.

Generally they just kill my citizens. I suggest trying to capture them, digging out a pit for them and then throw prisoners down there to test if they really do implant anyone with their young. For science.

I actually had a spur of creativity, and I had a cool idea on trying to weaponize them. but then the Infector left :C

I think it was a randomly generated monster, since I recall generating a couple random monsters using a random-monster mod thing.

They're not randomly generated, I used to get them in almost every one of my forts. Annoying little bastards.

Likes nether horror for their ability to turn people into eldritch horrors. Seriously, what is wrong with that dwarf.

Oh, someone found my creatures. I forgot I ever created them. Hah. They are supposed to be "alien"-like species from the evil biomes. Not like in Alien movies, just very different to normal wildlife.

There are various types of xen creatures. I think it's from my old Genesis Reborn. They have an illithid-like society, just based on soul consumption, not brain consumption.

I am not sure if Meph took them from the mod version where they have not reproduced yet, or where they already started doing it. I may look into that ;).
